Opus your dream has come true. Soundsmith has replacement stylus for Grace cartridges.

In case anyone's interested, I just got my Grace F9 back from SoundSmith with Mr. Lederman's mid-priced ($299) stylus assembly. I'm very impressed. I removed my Ortofon 2M Black to audition the F9 with the RS-9U assembly, and the latter was unambiguously superior in clarity, dynamics and detail.
Even more impressed were two friends who were over to check out the cartridge's performance. Both own $2-3K MC cartridges and now at least one is looking for an F9 cartridge body to send to SoundSmith.
As I have a second turntable, so am I, but this time I'll invest in one of the ruby-cantilever assemblies.
Please note I have no connection with Sound-Smith other than having purchased the stylus assembly and being more than satisfied with the result.
a crooked stylus? It look funky in the pic...
in 98 I bought a Denon DP-45 with a Grace F9E that the owner said his grand son had bent the needle and he straightened out. A year later it broke off. Even in its semi usable condition it was the best mm i have had...threw the needle out and gave the cart to a frenchman on this site who needed one, typical frog didnt thank me. I really need to get another, they are amazing...
taking it off your hands! :-)) (At least, I'm sure that's how he saw it.)
Regards,
Andy
if they would work with other carts that are supposedly the same as the Grace internally (Sumiko Pearl, Shelter 201, etc.).

Thanks for the link. My original RS9E has lots of life left and I've yet to mount Peter's LC/Ruby offering, so it might be a while.

No connection, just FYI.

You just missed it. When I checked just after Opus posted it,it only had about 17 minutes left to go.
